Exhibitions 2013–2014Germanisches nationalmuseum
For centuries, dream-like visions have un-leashed the fantasy of the artist. in their work, artists sought to enhance familiar reality through the fantastical, and created surprising and sometimes puzzling pictorial worlds. the germanisches nationalmuseum, in cooperation with the Foundation Juan march in madrid, will unlock the secrets of this phenomenon. this “fantastic” special exhibition will present an assortment of about 110 prints and drawings, from the middle ages to modernity. artists whose works will be on display include martin schongauer, albrecht Dürer, Jacques callot, giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de goya, hannah höch and salvador Dalí, among others.

Multicolored Panel with a Picture of a Butcher, dated 1655
since the middle ages, artisans have been organized in guilds, also known as crafts. these crafts regulated the environment of their mem-bers their whole lives long. this exhibition will present a large selection of obscure master-pieces from the holdings of the germanisches nationalmuseum and on loan from some of the most famous collections in europe. the newest research results lay the groundwork for intrigu-ing, never-before-told stories about sumptuous shops, sophisticated master-works, curious drinking rules, and many other cryptic legacies.

Ignaz Christoph R ussinger, Portrait of Laurentius Russinger, 1785
the portrait bust is one of the most fascinating genres of sculpture. they were particularly adaptable to the varieties of concurrent artistic styles prevalent at the end of the 18th century. Portraits of rulers, burghers, artists and intel-lectuals were oriented towards idealized images, towards the antique, or presented the subject in unidealized, haunting realism. often they show consideration of the interconnectedness between physiognomy and personality. through the presentation of sculptural masterpieces, this exhibition illuminates a major facet of a politically and spiritually fascinating era, and not least will convey a lively image of the enlightenment’s novel interest in the individual.

“the arab World’s Facebook —Youth Fights the man” — so ran the headline in the handelsblatt-journal in February of 2011. Young people both-change and become ensnared by business and political culture. For the first time, a compre-hensive exhibition proclaims the 20th century as “the century of Youth”. the concept of ado-lescence—as its own phase of life between childhood and adulthood—is a product of the late 19th century. in their search for alternative modes of living, youths have served as models for artists, political activists and intellectuals. some of the most well-known manifestations of this development are the magazine “Jugend”, the artistic style “Jugendstil”, the “Wander-vogel” movement, founded in 1901, and the “Freideutsche Jugend” group, organized in 1913. national socialism’s radical instrumentali-zation of young people; the 60’s generation; the youth movements in the former east germany; the progression in the past towards ever-strong-er individualization of youth culture—these as-pects and more will be explored in the show.

Vase, England, c. 1870 to 1873. Purchased at the Vienna World’s Fair of 1873
the 19th century laid the groundwork for today’s modern society. concentrating on the themes of World’s Fairs, media revolutions and music culture, this exhibition traces the break-throughs and innovations, conflicts and impass-es of that time. never-before-seen objects from the germanisches nationalmuseum will be shown in surprising cultural-historical contexts. World’s Fairs celebrated progress, were nations’ showcases and enthralled visitors by opening up foreign worlds. new media created a mod-ern news market and altered leisure and con-sumer attitudes. in the realm of music, presentations such as concerts, music festivals and salons both in public and private life made music more accessible to a wide range of social classes. Above all, this exhibition will offer a unique behind-the-scenes peek into museum research.

St. Gumbert Bible, c. 1180/85
the st. gumbert Bible, dating to c. 1180/85, was created for use in the church of st. gum-bert in the town of ansbach, located about forty miles west of nuremberg. one of the most luxurious manuscripts of the high middle ages, its format is also impressive: due to its large size it belongs to the category of so-called
“giant Bibles”. its sumptuous and expensive illustration is the most outstanding example of regensburg manuscript illumination of the romanesque period. this treasure—weighing almost 70 pounds! —normally resides in a spe-cial vault at erlangen university. in 2014, it will be thoroughly photographed and digitalized; this project’s accompanying exhibition, there-fore, offers a rare opportunity to view at one time a number of the masterfully illuminated pages of the bible.

Jacopo de’Barbari, Plan of Venice, 1500
after the publication of Jacopo de’Barbari’s enormous multiple-woodblock print of Venice in 1500, the bird’s eye perspective developed into a prevailing motif in european art. these views served the priorities of the ruling class, as they were obvious expressions of actual or claimed power over a particular area. since the end of the 18th century, however, more social classes have enjoyed a “view from above” in all its wide variety: from mountaintops, high scenic viewpoints, from church towers or high-rise apartment buildings. new technological achievements, for example hot air balloons, structures such as the Eiffel Tower, and of course airplanes, intensified these experiences. as a result, mankind developed new perceptual horizons; this phenomenon is also reflected in the artistic movements of impressionism of the 19th century and abstraction in the 20th.
